Preliminary results on the effect of an inverter environment on coated and uncoated MW35 twisted pair wires

Information is continuously being develop and published on how inverter grade wire will extend the life of electric motors that are exposed to high voltage and frequency pulses. Undertaken in this study is the effect inverter pulses have on MW35 type magnet wire coated with filled and unfilled impregnants, and how humidity might effect life. Presented and discussed is the new data generated as part of this research program, and preliminary explanations are provided for the unusually high aging rates observed, and maybe other possible failure mechanisms.
